Yesterday Congressman Kevin Cramer’s campaign got some good news in the form of a poll from Anderson Robbins Research (commissioned by Fox News) which showed him with a four percentage point lead over incumbent Senator Heidi Heitkamp.

You can read the full polling memo here. It also shows Republican Kelly Armstrong leading Democrat Mac Schneider 48 to 34.

In the Senate race, Cramer has consistently led Heitkamp in polling going all the way back to February. In fact, despite all of the money spend on campaign advertising in this race, the publicly available polling from multiple sources has remained pretty consistent.
